  • Kettering Town are renowned giant-killers, victims of Paul Gascoigne and supporters of the Palestinian cause. Despite being from one of those places nobody could put on a map, Kettering Town have several claims to fame. The club’s Wikipedia entry proudly states that Kettering Town were ‘the first British team to have their initials on their floodlights’ – the kind of boast that makes the Northamptonshire outfit a common choice for glory hunters.[1] The Poppies were also the first team in Britain to have a sponsor on their shirts when they advertised ‘Kettering Tyres’ in a game against Bath City on January 24, 1976. Many blame Kettering for the current financial prostitution of the beautiful game. Over the years, Kettering have claimed a number of scalps in the FA Cup and are a potential banana skin. Their home, Rockingham Road, is the kind of ground that struggling league teams dread being sent to. These days it is officially called the A-Line Arena, but obviously nobody calls it that and nor should they.
